Cheers, that did it (the one to select is 1 from options 1,2,3 It's the only one without a yes/no answer). Should probably have tried changing those options rather than diving in to editing stuff and cursing my inability to use Vim.
Speed seems good. Was getting 6.4MB/s on my main laptop which was the same as unencrypted (not sure why I wasn't getting full speed, either Virgin or newsgroup server). PIA was getting 2MB/s
Only getting half that speed on my server. I suspect it may be due to the crappy processor although it only shows usage at 20%. Will have to look further into that.
For those wondering about iplayer though I get a message that I'm not in the UK so no use there.
Good overall though and really quick to set up once you know how. Cheers

So.. make sure to get the OPVN file from the server. There's a bunch of flags it sets in that file. Copy those and make sure openvpn client is actually running them. The biggest one is the buffer settings. The defaults are terrible, but AS server tries to push new settings. Some clients will ignore that and hence shit speeds.
Depends on which client you are using of course.
ah yes there is a gotcha and that's due to the Digital Ocean setup.
/usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init
run that command, and when it asks which ip/ports to bind to make sure you select ALL. I think it's option 0
